Verdict:
(+) One of the weirdest but also most unique science fiction movies of the decade.
(+) Scarlett Johansson gives her best performance to date in it.
(+) The score by Mica Levi is among my favorites of the last 10 years. Incredibly unnerving and definitely gets under your skin (I'm sorry, but I had to do it).
(+) It's beautifully shot. The Scottish scenery is also absolutely breathtaking.
(+) The attention to detail and subtlety showed by Jonathan Glazer is nothing short of extraordinary.
(+) The atmosphere is haunting and plays a huge role in making us viewers uncomfortable.
(-) Found it to be a little too one-note and to some extent slightly repetitive, especially in its second act.
(-) Some of the makeup used wasn't very convincing, but that's just a nitpick.
